Reportedly, six protestors were arrested after they put a banner calling for abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from the Statue of Liberty’s pedestal on 4 July.
Sources quoting the authorities say, a person was scaling the statue’s base. Jerry Willis, National Park Service spokesman said, the climber was at the base beneath the statue’s foot around 4 pm. The climber, has been named by US media as, Therese Okoumou, a 44-year-old immigrant from DR Congo. Though, it was still unclear whether the climb was related to the 'banner demonstration'. Willis said federal regulations prohibit hanging banners from the monument.
